Steve Morgan has wanted a better stadium atmosphere since his takeover of Wolves

Wolves have today announced plans to upgrade Molineux stadium including a capacity increase to around 36,000. This includes demolishing three of the four existing stands.

Architects AFL have designed the re-build so that the Stan Cullis and Steve Bull stands will all be demolished and replaced by a two-tier stand that will stretch around the ground. The Jack Harris will have the roof removed with an extra tier added.

The first stand to go is set to be the northbank next summer and it will take around a year to rebuild. Steve Bull will have his stand rebuilt the following summer and will take and estimated two years to complete. The southbankers will be the last to relocate the following year and the Jack Harris stand will take one year to re-build.

I predict that if all plans were approved and began next summer (as hoped), then a new-look Molineux could be in place for the start of the 2015/16 season.

Other key points are of the plan are:

The current club shop will become the club’s new ticket office

The new Stan Cullis stand will house a sports bar and a new museum

The away fans will now be housed in a corner stand between the Stan Cullis and the Steve Bull stands

The corners either side of the Billy Wright stand will remain empty

Big video screens will be at either end of the ground (similar to Tottenham)

Wolves officials showed the plans to members of the fans’ parliament on Wednesday evening before inviting the local residents in last night to demonstrate how the plans would affect them.

THE ARCHITECTS IMAGES LOOK STUNNING AND WE WILL ONCE AGAIN HAVE A STADIUM TO BE PROUD OF!

Hopefully I’ll have the official pictures to show you later today. In the meentime, click here to see WOW’s official picture gallery.

Van Damme had a previous spell in England with Southampton between 2004 and 2006. He only made six appearances.

Wolves appear set to sign Belgium international Jelle Van Damme after comments from his manager point all fingers at a move to Molineux.

The 6ft 4ins utility man, currently with Anderlecht, is rated at £2.5m and was at the final game of the season against Sunderland. His manager claims terms have almost been finalised for him to join Wanderers.

Anderlecht boss Herman Van Holsbeeck is quoted in the Express & Star as saying: “Apparently, Jelle has an agreement with that club (Wolves).

Wolves hope to increase the capacity of Molineux to 40,000 after redevelopments.

WolvesFFS understands that the Molineux pitch is set to be moved closer to the Billy Wright and Jack Harris stands once the current season has finished.

I also understand that the first stage of stadium redevelopment is scheduled to commence at the end of next season.

In plans yet to be confirmed by the club, the pitch will be moved much closer to the two stands in an attempt to create a better atmosphere; something Chairman Steve Morgan has wanted ever since he bought the club.

Wolves’ long term objective is to completely rebuild the Steve Bull stand so that it corners both the Jack Harris and Stan Cullis stands.

Wolves are also set to invest in pitch lamps to provide artificial sunlight to give the pitch more sustainability during the winter months of the season. These are common at most Premier League clubs but cost a lot to bring in.

Further news on this development may come from the next meeting of the Fans’ Parliament scheduled for the end of May.

I’ve looked back over the last nine months to pick out my best and worst five moments of the season.

Best moments of the season

Kevin Doyle’s winning goal at Spurs – Doyle headed in Nenad Milijas’ wide free-kick after only three minutes at White Hart Lane. Wolves held on for a further 91 minutes and recorded a famous victory in the capital. Jubilent!

Adlene Guedioura’s goal at Burnley – after already being a goal to the good thanks to Matt Jarvis, Guedioura struck a second just after half-time to seal a crucial win for Wolves in what was a huge six-pointer. Overjoyed!

Andy Keogh’s header at Wigan – Keogh’s goal after six minutes handed Wolves their first win of the season and their first ever Premier League away victory. Buzzing!

Nenad Milijas’ screamer against Bolton – Miljas sealed the win against Bolton at Molineux with a rocket from 35 yards after Jody Craddock had put Wolves ahead. Astounded!

Beating Spurs 1-0 at Molineux – Wolves completed the double over Tottenham thanks to a goal from midfielder Dave Jones. An 18-pass move resulted in Jones volleying home from 18 yards to send the Molineux faithful into raptures. Delighted!

Matt Jarvis‘ goal at West Ham – Another great night for Wolves in London was confirmed by Matt Jarvis’ sweet strike from the edge of the area. Glorious!

Worst moments of the season

Nicklas Bendtner’s stoppage-time header at the Emirates – After holding out for 93 minutes, Wolves’ resolve was finally broken at Bendtner headed home to give Arsenal a 1-0 victory. Gutted.

Losing to Birmingham City thanks to one man: KEVIN PHILLIPS – Wolves led 1-0 thanks to Kevin Doyle. Then came on Wolves’ arch-enemy, Phillips. The former West Brom striker scored the winner ten minutes from time to give Blues the win. Wounder!

Losing to Portsmouth – Portsmouth had lost eight straight games before coming to Molineux in September. A single goal from Hassan Yebda seeled the points for the now relegated side. Devastated!

Wolves 0-0 Stoke – possibly the most boring game in the history of the Premier League. Enough said! Zzzzzz!

Getting thumped at Chelsea – Mick McCarthy opted for a 3-5-2 formation against the country’s best side at the time. Messrs Surman and Halford started and boy did they wish they didn’t. Chelsea 4-0 Wolves. Embarrassment!
